Audio Guide of Vallenata Legend Park

The park is generally open to the public every day of the week, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for sightseeing tours and visits to the monuments. However, during the Vallenata Legend Festival, opening hours depend on the concert and event schedule.

Admission to walk around the common areas and take photos with the statues is usually free or based on voluntary contributions outside the festival season. For official Festival events and concerts, tickets must be purchased through the official authorized channels.

A standard tourist visit to see the facilities, the 'Colacho Mendoza' stage, and take photos with the artists' statues lasts approximately 45 minutes to one hour. If you attend a music event, the experience may last several hours.

It is the temple of vallenato and the main venue of the most important festival of this genre, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It was promoted by Consuelo Araujonoguera to preserve the musical tradition and serves as the stage where the Vallenato Kings are crowned every year.

If you are looking for the full cultural experience, the best time is in late April during the Festival. If you prefer a quiet visit to appreciate the architecture and avoid the extreme heat, we recommend going early in the morning or late in the afternoon at any other time of year.

Yes, the park has paved paths and ramps that make wheelchair access easier through the main areas. It is a spacious and mostly flat site, which allows good accessibility for all visitors.

The park is very close to the famous Hurtado Spa on the Guatapurí River, where you can see the golden statue of the Vallenata Mermaid. We also recommend visiting the Minstrels' Roundabout to complete your cultural route.

Wear light clothing, a hat, and bring plenty of water, as Valledupar is a hot city. Don't forget your camera for the must-have photo with the statues of Diomedes Díaz, Poncho Zuleta, and Jorge Oñate, and download an audio guide to fully understand the legends behind every corner.
